vkms_config_create_encoder(9)

💅 vkms_config_create_encoder(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's from the kernel docs, and it's literally called vkms_config_create_encoder(9). grab a strawberry drink 🍓 and let's get into it, because this function is the moment you manifest a brand new encoder configuration into existence ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

vkms_config_create_encoder — adds a new encoder configuration, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vkms_config_encoder * vkms_config_create_encoder (struct
vkms_config *config );

that's the whole vibe check: it hands you back a struct vkms_config_encoder *, and it takes exactly one thing. iconic, honestly 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• config — the configuration you're adding the encoder to 💖 that's it, that's the whole arg, she's low-key simple like that.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get the new encoder configuration back, or an error if things went sideways 😭 — and listen, this part matters fr fr: call vkms_config_destroy_encoder to free the returned encoder configuration. don't just leave her hanging, that's not the energy we're bringing 🧚

💜 that's the page, bestie — go create that encoder and remember to vkms_config_destroy_encoder it after 💜

mwah 💋 — this cutie came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/vkms, dated October 2026, and the manual name is vkms_config_create_encoder(9) in case you forgot already 🙈
